How it is calculated
Cutting can eat more of the allowance when there are many narrow offcuts. The formula cannot see that pattern.
Sheets = round up(area × (1 + waste) / sheet area)
Where the numbers come from
- Area — unit in the field: m²
- Sheet length — unit in the field: m
- Sheet width — unit in the field: m
- Waste — unit in the field: %
Example
30 m² with 10% waste and a 3 m² sheet needs 11 sheets.
